MmmHmmm.... Yep, that'll 'bout do it

Oh, my.... Our house is nearly empty. The Boy's room is full of tubs. Each of us has 3 tubs. One to ship now, two to take as luggage. The Girl's room is empty, painted and cleaned. She has an air mattress and that's it. Closets are cleaned out. Cabinets are getting there.
Then the whole south end of the living room has boxes and tubs for storage. It will all be gone by July 5. That's when we're moving to Wilburton.

Wait.... there are about twenty tubs in the middle of the living room. All addressed to us. In Kasigluk! I really didn't think we would have so much STUFF. How can we need this much stuff? It's amazing how you can stuff garbage bags and suck the air out them. You can really pack a lot in when you do that. But the game tub is full. Even when we took every item out of the boxes and put all the pieces into a zip-lock baggie. The Mister says we'll have to spend one whole evening just figuring out what goes with what game.

Actually, those twenty tubs are going to the post office tomorrow. At $45 - $50 a tub, it will run us about $1000 to ship our "can't live without this goodie" tubs to Akula. I'll let you know how we do. We will ship media rate. Someone at church today said they knew someone who sent their belongings "priority mail." WOW. That would be terribly expensive!

I have butterflies in my stomach. And my legs. And my arms. My head is a little on the light side. We're on the countdown. 41 days until we fly out from DFW airport.
